    John McAfee indicted in connection with crytpo pump-and-dump scheme

    I understand this about Monero, but still my question was about how something like Ethereum is facilitating crime? Since the post was generalizing that the role of crypto (in general) is to facilitate crime.

    What's your preferred instrument for hedging against stock market crash?

    That's what I am doing, covered calls (No naked). But in the case of a large diversified portfolio, selling covered calls on individual names might not be optimal (Unless you already have an engine for it to work out the different scenarios & more importantly the executions for you), this is why...

    What's your preferred instrument for hedging against stock market crash?

    I would say hedge in a different way, sell covered calls on your portfolio, or sell calls on indices instead. It has it's pros and cons. You get a limited insurance, so you are protected only to certain point, beyond that, your portfolio will get exposed. But in return, you stand to collect...

    The mom contrarian indicator

    We will get more insight on 17-Mar in the next FOMC meeting. Higher bond rates do not induce or start inflation, they influence borrowing & funding rates and also affect equity risk premiums. The Fed should be concerned about higher bond rates for sure, how they are going to deal with it...

    The mom contrarian indicator

    Although the recent sell-off looks similar to previous corrections, but if you dive deeper into the internals of the market, it doesn't. It's clear that the speculative positions in EV, batteries, solar, alternative energy & all the high flying (New paradigm companies which will change the...

    Max short gamma pain?

    It was a wild ride on Friday. Both of us were incorrect in our expectations (Neither a strong rally nor a calm day). The market rallied as I expected, but it rallied after selling off for the first 2 hours, which was not what I was expecting.

    The mom contrarian indicator

    These are not random signals or noise, these are the best contrarian signals you might ever get. Back in 2011, I nailed the $1950 top in gold to the day when I entered the office on that day and everyone in the office was talking about buying gold. They never brought it up before, it was like...

    GBTC and ETHE are trading at a discount for the first time

    Thanks, but I don't buy those, I buy the actual cryptos indeed. And I don't see Bitcoin at $47k as a steal right now, I would add more to my existing positions around the $30k-$35k if ever visited.

    someone explain datafeeds to me like I'm 6

    Imagine you are renting a house, the house owner tells you I will secure water for you through the pipe system installed in the house, you need to pay a monthly fee for that. That's the brokers who get you the feeds themselves and you only have to pay for the feed charges they tell you about...

    How did this fund lose so much money from losing money buying puts during Covid crash?

    They must have paid too much premium for the put options (Since implied volatility was going up like crazy in March 2020), so option premiums (especially Puts) were through the roof. On top of that, if they bought expensive OTM puts at exactly the bottom of March 2020, then their puts never...

    TWS Account Balance Charting?

    Sorry, I am not really sure, but you can check with IB. There is another way though, you can export your statements from the IB client portal in excel and then work out your account balance history in excel.

    Max short gamma pain?

    It means that with this sell-off, a lot of dealers & MMs with large short puts exposure on QQQ are getting more losses on their positions, which they expect might lead their models to actually decide to hedge those short puts by shorting QQQ further thus accelerating the decline. In my opinion...

Understand what you trade very well before trading it 3. Understand all the potential risks 4. Forget everything you know about volatility, it's much...

    I Bailed

    Commodity super-cycle is for real, it just doesn't happen to all commodities alike at the same time, there is also "Sector-like" rotation in commodities. Essentials move first (Food, Grains, Industrial Metals & Energy), then others follow later. Gold & Silver already moved early but then due to...

    I Bailed

    The market bought the vaccine R&D all the way up and is now selling the reality (After vaccine availability), all priced in. Same old "Buy the Rumor, Sell the News".
